Hello and Happy Friday!
Well, we made it through the first two days of school. I love that we start with a 2 day week and can ease into the whole 'back to school' thing!
I finally broke out another new and never used stamp set from Altenew. I had this idea brewing in my head for the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. If you haven't heard, they are celebrating their 200th sketch!
So, normally when I use Wink of Stella, you cannot see it in the photo. Today I have the opposite problem. The speckly look is actually the shimmery Wink if Stella.
Here is the sketch~
And the colors are from Colour Me...!~
I am also linking up to Altenew's inspiration challenge. I was inspired by the lacey florals around the cake. I did add pink color to my flowers to match the magnolias that we have here in St Louis.
I stamped my Magnolias in Versamark and clear embossed them. They were then colored with Peerless Watercolors. Once colored, I ironed off the embossing powder and then masked the flowers and stamped the branch from the Vintage Flowers set.
I penciled in a line and then fussy cut the flowers for an 'outside the box' look.
A friend of mine's daughter is getting married in a couple of weeks and the wedding will be at our gorgeous Missouri Botanical Gardens here in St Louis. Here colors are include silver and light pink. I thought this would be a perfect card for the occasion!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a relaxing and blessed weekend!
Lee Ann :)
